Connector for custom built application

Hi all,
Can SAP IDM support custom application?
The application uses Oracle tables to store IDs, Roles, Passwords etc.
I am new to SAP IDM.
But I do have some experiences with Oracle IDM and IBM Tivoli IDM.
Thanks in advance,
dongsu.

So, with custom application do you mean an application that was developed from scratch in-house or in consulting project?
Then the answer is "no" for an out of the box connector to all applications. The integration depends on the APIs/technology the custom application supports and where in the end the access rights are provisioned. The only easy way (closest to out of the box) to provision rights to custom applications is when the custom application uses LDAP/AD as a user storage. You mentioned already Oracle database, it is not necessarily much more difficult than LDAP/AD if the operations translate to SQL sentences.
I think the work starts in understanding the access rights model and user management requirements in the custom application. Do you need only to create the user? Maintain several attributes for the user in the target system? Delete/inactivate the user? Would you need to provision different kind of access right levels / is the target system role based / how many roles? etc etc
Next thing is understanding how the provisioning works in IdM and how the SAP Provisioning Framework can be extended with your own plugins (plus what ever is needed).
Maybe you can post more information about the scenario for better answer..

What's the recommended practice on logging errors from custom built applications hosted on Terminal Servers.

Hi,
We have custom built applications which are now hosted on Windows Terminal Servers.
We are looking for recommendation on logging. Is it
advisable to use a shared NAS folder or make use of event log on individual servers?
Thanks,
Raj

Hi Dharmesh,
Thanks for responding.
This is a large deployment involving hundreds of applications and servers. My responsibility is to come up with development guidelines for applications hosted on TS. I have gone through the guidelines
posted by Microsoft @
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa383490(v=vs.85).aspx. But it didn't cover the topic on logging.
Do you know whether Microsoft has published any other document on this topic.
Thanks,

Usage of SAP Event Management as backend for custom mobile applications

Hi,
I'm am looking for an appropriate implementation approach for custom mobile applications as complement for warehouse processes with SAP Extended Warehouse Management.
Possible scenarios:
i) Goods issue - loading process
There are requirements like capturing of various data about the vehicle and load per RF handheld computer. The goal is to trace and archive them for analysis and reporting purposes.
ii) Goods receipt -production process
The production supply and goods receipt from production are realized in SAP EWM. The request is to collect data about the production process for quality reasons by use of RF devices.
You can picture oneself the additional mobile data entry activities during the various processes as predefined question catalogues with answer options.
The frontend - the additional mobile transactions can be realized with the EWM-Radio-Frequency-Framework, too. But I feel confindent that there is a better way to track, trace, store, analyse, report and archiv of the collected data to Y-TABLES.
Would you recommend to use SAP Event Management for this purpose to complement the SAP EWM processes?
The existing requirements as described above is in my understanding only a little fraction of the capabilities of SAP Event Management. The data collection and evaluation process is local within the warehouse. At first there is not requested any automatic system behaviour to particular events...
There are a lot material and information about SAP Event Management. But I havent found an easy getting started for my simple business scenario to enhance the EWM processes with the EM capabilities. How I could realize a question/anwer catalogue with the EM tools?
Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Laura

Hello Laura,
principally the process would fit for EM. But EWM is not integrated up to now to EM i.e. you would have to do the connection from EWM to EM by your own.
How to generally connect an application to EM is described here:
service.sap.com/scm
-> Event Managament
-> Technical Information
-> Connect SAP objects to SAP EM

LDAP connector for Customer masters With SAP..........

Hi Experts ,
Our requirement is we have certain applications which are integrated
with SAP Portal.
For these applications Data sources are maintained in two different
LDAPS.
One LDAP (enterprise directory) is for USER data and the other LDAP for
Customer data(in this senario customer data is nothing but business
partner role oragnization).
MY task is to build an interface for Customer data with LDAP sync.
So here the question is, Can we use SAP standard LDAP connectors to
make connectivity to the enterprise directory(LDAP)and push business
partners data from CRM to the enterprise directory.
In Standard SAP system which are standard LDAP connectors support
this functionality?
Please advice me and also let me know if we have any SAP notes for this
senario.
Best Regards
Prasad

Thank you very much for the useful link Martin. Anyway, there are some things that I cannot find for NX Unigraphics integration:
In the wiki you can find
You can download the CAD-Integration-Software from http://service.sap.com/swdc and then goto
Installations and Upgrades > Supplementary Components for Cross Industry Solutions > Life-Cycle Data Management > SAP PLM Integrations > select the desired integration
But that path does not exist in SAP download software page.
Also, in the availability matrix I can find integration with several systems (catia, solid edge, autocad...) but not unigraphics.
Could you please provide some more information on the topic?
Thanks a lot.

Desktop Integration for customized translator applications

Hi,
For the customized translator applications (trained systems) built using microsoft translator hub, is it possible to integrate them with MS Office and all other tools, servers and web applications that are automatically integrated to the out-of-the-box microsoft
translator? Our intention is to avoid out-of-the-box translation and have our own customized translation for all the integrations we use. If this is possible, please direct me to the corresponding documentation.

Hi Chaya,
Sorry for the delayed response. It is possible to use your own custom translator for word and some other tools/applications. Please check the following for MS word:
http://www.microsoft.com/translator/word.aspx
https://store.office.com/translator-WA104124372.aspx?assetid=WA104124372
Please let us know specific tools and applications that you are interested in and we can provide details on if they support custom translation or not.
Thank you

Passing variables for custom built SQR

Hi :
There is a custom build application in our EBS suite and we are trying to add a new program to the application. The SQR Program works likes this.
1. Calculates functional part and prints out the report.
2. Also generates the report in a text file.
Issue:
1. The first part works perfectly but the file does not get generated.It throws out an error.
Error on line 106
(SQR 2905) Cannot open file ‘/new.txt’ AS 1.
(13) : Permission denied
This is from the SQR Program $rbfilename = getenv('XXPOS_PAY')||'/new.txt'
We have declared the XXPOS_PAY variable in the customCONTEXT_name.env file and sourced the APPSORA.env.
I have also ensure that the Apps user has complete privilege to write to the file system.
What do u think is wrong?
Regards,
BMP

Hi i am sorry for confusing.
I have a database that has
id
status
username
first_name
last_name
email
password
ip
date_time
activation key
now on my list page i have it showin: ID / Status / Username / First Name / Last Name / Email
now after creating a recordset and making it show 15 records per page etc i then clicked on the id in table and choose from properties window browse (the folder icon) then selected the file update.php and then clicked on parameters gave the name id and value id so when i then click on a users id it takes me to the update.php page and shows there information as it suppose to by passing the user id along the url.
This is fine. now i want to make the username and email address do the same so when i click on them it takes me to the update page and loads the user information from DB like it does with the ID. Basically same thing but different text link.
Is that better explained?
it just basically allows me to select either id, username or email address instead of just id, just preference really.
thank you

Design approach for custom Fiori application

Dear Experts,
Good day to all...!
I am having a query on finalizing design approach for one of my custom Fiori Application development using SAP UI5.
Current Application design and Features:
As now we are having application, which is been used in laptops. The application structure is like (SAP R3 --> SUP -->UI (using .net) [back-end à Middlewareà UI).
The UI is hosted on IIS server and the application type is desktop, so the users can use the application in offline as well.
Once its connected to internet, they push all the data back to SAP via SUP.
Proposal :
We are planning to migrate the same application into Fiori with same offline features and extending to mobiles and devices.
I have few queries here.
What will be the best approach to deploy the application either SUP(Latest version of SMP) or SAP R3.
If SAP R3 to deploy App:
If we choose to deploy the application in R3, How to support the offline usage mobile and devices.
Will the HTML5 local storage or indexed DB’s are sufficient to support the offline usage.
In this case, Shall we drop the SUP/SMP, Since the application directly accessed from SAP R3 ..?
SUP/SMP to deploy the app:
In this case, I need to create (wrap the ui5 files into hybrid application) a hybrid application to support the mobile and devises as native application..? Correct me If I am wrong..:)
Hope I can use the SUP/SMP local storage options to support my offline usage..? Correct me If I am wrong..:)
What will be the best option to support desktop offline usage.
We are yet to take a decision on this.. Please provide your valuable inputs , which will help us to take some decisions.
Thanks & Regards
Rabin D

Hi Anusha,
considering the reusability aspect the components approach is the much better one (see also the best practices dev guide chapter regarding components SAPUI5 SDK - Demo Kit).
It allows you to reuse that component in different applications or other UI components.
I also think that the Application.js approch will not work with Fiori, cause the Fiori Launchpad loads the Components.js of the Fiori app in an Component Container.

Identify price [Derive dynamic pricing] related fields within sales quote output form in SAP cloud for customer CRM application

We have designed a Sales Quote Output Form using ADLC for SAP Cloud for Customer (C4C). We need to print both header and item level price details like Unit Price, Tax%, Tax Amount, Discount %, Discount value on the output form. We are now struggling to find the actual fields which will carry these values in the transaction. We are using multiple pricing procedures which have different condition types. The struggle is to find the actual condition type while generating the output. Can somebody guide which fields could carry these values which condition type. Can this be achieved without coding. Please guide.
I have added two screen shots for reference.

I am not sure I understand your question. What I think you are asking is in your data binding where is the data for fields in question. That is something you will need to get from whoever defined the data. The connection simply binds the data to your form but determining which field carries that data is not something this group would be able to help with. I would go back to your DBA and ask for a schema or DB reference to show which bindings will carry that data. Does that help?

Oracle RAC and implications for custom developed applications

Hi,
I'm wondering if there are limitations to custom developed applications when implementing a RAC solution. I need some advice though I can find no documentation on this topic. Of course the standard database features will work correctly but what about, let's say, OS-specific PL/SQL code? Any advice is welcome.
Thanks

Jos,
What do you mean by OS-specific PL/SQL code?
The main thing here is you need to make sure it works correctly on all instances, or you must bind it to an instance by submitting it as a job.
This implies the output needs to end up on a cluster file system, or you need to set up NFS links.
Please feel free to contact me internally, if you are the Jos Baan I know.

Not able to get the Application ID value in ADF Phase listener for Custom ADF application which integrates with Ebiz R12.2.3

Hi All ,
I am working on one custom Order Mangement ADF Application which integrates with EBiz R12.2.3.
We are trying to get the Ebiz userid ,username,Responsibility ID and Application ID in ADF through below Code
       public HashMap checkEBSSession(HttpServletRequest request,

Hi,
since you implements the backing bean from PagePhaseListener. some where the same view is excuting before getting the selected record. Even if you select the record after excuteQuery() it will set the first record as selected. Please try to check some where query is excuting.
try give some more details like what are all the methods you are using in PagePhaseListener and where you worte u r coding.

Authoring MP for custom JEE application

Hi
The below is for SCOM 2012 R2
I am working on creating MP for Adobe CQ. This is an OSGI container with MBeans. Its not similar to any of the JEE servers like Tomcat, Weblogic etc. Following are the things I have done till now:
1. Added the server as a Tomcat 6 using the NewAppServer powershell file.
2. Installed BeanSpy on it, after adding changes in code to the JMXStore.java file to connect to CQ specific JMX Store.
3. Installed SCOM agent on the machine.
The Urls like /BeanSpy/Stats and /BeanSpy/Mbeans?JMXQuery.. work fine.
The Management pack I have written first checks if a particular service is running or not. The MP also queries information related to JVM eg: Live threads, heap size etc. The MP also has discovery for an MBean. However, I am unable to see the MBeans.
The server does not have concept of Applications , we can only list the MBeans.
My ques is :
1. Is the method I have followed is correct ?
2. Why I am not able to discover any MBeans ?
Thanks in advance

Design Suggestion for Custom ADF Application

Hi
I have a custom database table.
I have a custom database view which has query from multiple tables including the above table.
The custom table in the view is joined with other tables by columns like inventory_item_id, organization_id etc.
I have to show user a screen where the results of this view are shown in a table.
The user should be able to enter some data in the screen for these rows.
(he will be able to enter the data only for fields from my custom table)
When he press save button, we should enter the new data given by user into the custom table
along with some other values from view rows .. like inventory_item_id, organization_id etc ..
Can you suggest a best approach to achieve this ?
I have to use BC4J for Model and ADF For UI.
As far as my knowledge goes, I think we will not be able to do this with an updateable view since we might hit the error
ORA-01779: cannot modify a column which maps to a non key-preserved table
Is there a design pattern we can follow in BC4J so that this can be achieved?
Thanks for any help.
Sameer

Any view can be made updatable if you write INSTEAD OF triggers for it. That might be a good solution for you. You can also base a View Object on more than one Entity Object, and as long as there are good associations between the EOs it ought to work fine.

Migrating a custom built BusinessObjects 6.5 Java application to XI 3.1

Hi,
We have a Business Objects 6.5 system which needs to be migrated to XI 3.1.
In the present Business Objects 6.5 system, we have a custom built Java application deployed on WebLogic. Its got a single sign on also configured from the Java web page into InfoView. A fair deal of SDK customization has been done to achieve this.
My question is, if we need to set up the same portal to function similarly in Business Objects XI 3.1, what are the steps to be followed? Should the code be re-written to adhere to the XI 3.1 SDK and then re-deployed on the new server? Kindly correct me if I'm wrong.
I found this document: u201CMigrating Business Objects 6 Customized Applications to BusinessObjects Enterprise XI R2u201D which provides info on this. But, Iu2019m not yet able to figure out where to begin.
I do not have great exposure to writing code and deploying web applications. So Iu2019ll be very grateful for any help and pointers on this.
Many thanks!
Rahul

More than likely it will need to be a complete rewrite.
At the top of this forum there is a post called [Read Before Posting - Where to find Business Objects Java SDK Resources|Read Before Posting - Where to find Business Objects Java SDK Resources; which you should read.
It has links to various Java SDK information and samples.
I would suggest starting there.
